bella button fat book swap

This beautiful book was the brainchild of the fabulous Michelle Geller. All the participants sent in their fabric pages, decorated with buttons, and she put them all together for us to pick up on Thursday night. Page 1: Julie Baxley Page 2: Melissa Danner

Oh my gosh, that's gorgeous! I never would have thought of a book made of fabric, that's lovely!I can tell each artist spent a lot of time and put a lot of care into each page. Silver Bella sounds like it was loads of fun & excitement!

Oh Amy, you are so sweet to showcase the fabric book this way! Thank you. It was an absolute labor of love and I cherished every minute I was working on it. You girls that participated truly were the heart of this book. I thank you for that and I thank you so much for being part of it!

Wow, that's incredible. My first thought when I saw this book was I would love to have something like that for my kids to use at church. (which may not be what you were thinking but hey) Then my mind starting racing to all the neat ways I could add family photos and buttons to button and laces to tie, but it would need to be really busy pages that kept their attention week in and week out and then I remembered that I'm a mom of three kids (soon to be four) and wow do I really have the time and/or energy for that?

I think I'll have to start mulling it over in my head. It would be a great way to use up my scraps. Thanks!
